Chapter 1062: Fan-Chen
Chapter 1062: Fan-Chen
"I don't want to waste time betting with you. I'll go up to the second floor now. Get out of the way!" Zheng-Fu ignored the other party's bet. Although he liked to tease people, this time he thought it was a waste of time to do such nonsense.
You!
"If you want to go up, you must show evidence first. Otherwise, don't hope to go up!" Seeing that Zheng-Fu did not care about him, even though he was an official member with more power than the new members, and more importantly, his energy level was higher, the young man, who looked much older than Zheng-Fu, wanted to teach him a lesson. He unleashed the seventh level of the Heavenly Deity Originate Stage energy wave to press against Zheng-Fu.
Huh!
"Go away!"
Booooooom!!!
Augh!
But something unexpected suddenly happened. Not only was Zhu's pressure unable to do anything to Zheng-Fu, but he was also attacked by Zheng-Fu's energy aura, causing him to spit out blood. That created a lot of panic among people. But what shocked people even more was the energy wave that Zheng-Fu unleashed.
Genuine Deity Stage!
At that moment, not only were the people who thought Zheng-Fu would be defeated shocked, but even Zhu was so shocked that his hands were shaking. He knew that what he had done was completely nonsense. And when he thought about the bet from earlier, his face became even paler. Because if Zheng-Fu accepted his challenge, he would have to take off his clothes and run around the Treasure Exchange Tower. And if it happened like that, it would become a stigma that would be carried with him until the day he died.
"I... I..."
Sigh!
Zheng-Fu did not know whether to be angry or pity that young man. But since they were members of the same force, and that matter was not a big deal, he did not take offense and continued walking up to the second floor.
"Do you all see the same thing as I?"
"I have eyes, why can't I see it? But who said he was a new member? His energy level is comparable to that of a senior member!"
"I don't know, I'm drunk on mosquito repellent!"
The incident immediately became the main topic of discussion among those members. Soon, it spread like wildfire to other members who did not see it with their own eyes. Even San-Kong-Tian and the other three Vice Force Leaders heard this.
After the issue ended, Zheng-Fu walked up to the second floor, not paying any more attention to the young man Zhu. He chose to go to the zone where the medicinal items were kept first. Because increasing his energy level was his main goal right now. And if this floor did not have the medicine he needed, he would find herbs that could be brought to concoct medicine instead. But if there was nothing, he would go up to the third floor.
Oh!
"The prices of items on this second floor are quite high. But looking at the quality of these pills, it was worth the scores, but…" Zheng-Fu looked at the many pills on the shelves and saw that their prices were much higher than the ones on the first floor. But compared to the quality of the medicine on the first floor, they were twice as good. But even so, Zheng-Fu still felt dissatisfied. He thought that if he were to concoct those pills himself, he would be able to make them better.
"With my current energy level, these pills won't help me much. Let's go look in the herbal section in case there are any good herbs that can be used to concoct pills. But I still don't have any new potion recipes. I'd better go check it out as well since I'm already here!"
After going through all the medicines and not finding any that he was satisfied with, Zheng-Fu thought that he should also look at the medicinal herbs and the medicinal recipes on that floor. Because he only had old medicinal recipes that used to concoct medicines in his original world, which were unlikely to be usable in Deity Land. Or if they were to be usable, he would have to waste time researching and improving them. He would also lose some of the materials in the experiment. Therefore, he chose to find a complete medicinal recipe from there.
Ten minutes later...
"Why aren't there any good herbs on the second floor? Or have they all been exchanged?"
After searching for herbs on that floor for ten minutes, Zheng-Fu could not find any herbs that could be used to concoct medicine. In addition to general herbs that could be ground into medicine without having to be concocted. It caused Zheng-Fu to furrow his brows.
Erm!
"Sorry, Elder Brother, can you tell me why there aren't any good herbs on this floor?" While Zheng-Fu was thinking about it, he glanced at a middle-aged man who smelled of herbs. Zheng-Fu assumed that this man was probably an apothecary, so he inquired.
Hah!
"Are you a new member, so you don't know that these second and third floors don't have splendid herbs for making energy-boosting pills?" The middle-aged man turned to look at Zheng-Fu with a questioning expression, before asking. He thought that Zheng-Fu must have been a new member and did not know about these things that all the members knew.
"Is that so? I just recently joined the Force, so I don't know about this. By the way, can you advise me where I can find those herbs?" Zheng-Fu immediately understood after hearing what the middle-aged man said. He then asked about the place where he would find those herbs.
"What do you want herbs for? Or are you also an apothecary? But why can't I sense an apothecary smell from you?" The middle-aged man was slightly stunned to see Zheng-Fu asking about a place to buy herbs. Normally, if someone were not an apothecary, they would not ask for them. Except for those who wanted to get them in exchange for other things or had personal needs. But from the middle-aged man's consideration of Zheng-Fu, he concluded that Zheng-Fu was probably not an apothecary. Because he did not smell the apothecary's scent from Zheng-Fu at all.
"Seeing me like this, I'm also an apothecary, Elder Brother. Although I'm not very skilled, I do have some knowledge. As for what I'm asking, can you tell me, Elder Brother?" Zheng-Fu did not want to brag about himself. Besides, he was not sure what his medicine-concocting ability would be like at that time. But he was confident that he could still concoct pills without any mistakes and would be as good as before.
Ah!
"Actually, it's not a secret. Most of the splendid herbs were stored in the Ten Thousand Heavenly Medicines Tower. You can exchange your money or mission score for it. But its price is very high. Unless you're an apothecary of Ten Thousand Heavenly Medicines Tower like me, you'll receive a special discount. Moreover, the medicine you concocted, you could also sell it to the Medicine Hall. And it'll get a better price than selling it yourself in this Treasure Exchange Tower!" The middle-aged man answered Zheng-Fu without any concealment. Moreover, as he spoke, he looked very happy and proud of being an apothecary.
"Thank you, Elder Brother, for recommending this to me. I, Zheng-Fu, will never forget your kindness this time," Zheng-Fu immediately thanked the middle-aged man. He really liked people with this kind of personality. Therefore, he thought of repaying this man's favor in the future.
"You don't have to be that polite to me. Moreover, this matter is general and doesn't need to be considered any favor. I, Fan-Chen, am an official member and apothecary of Ten Thousand Heavenly Medicines Tower. Nice to meet you, Younger Brother Zheng-Fu." The middle-aged man felt comfortable talking to Zheng-Fu. He then introduced himself in a friendly manner.
"Elder Brother Fan-Chen!"
Umm!
"By the way, are you interested in going to the Ten Thousand Heavenly Medicines Tower with me? And if you want to become an apothecary of the Force, you can take the test there to receive an apothecary badge. With the apothecary badge, you'll receive the rights I told you before. And the higher your apothecary level is, the higher your rights will be," Fan-Chen thought for a moment before asking and inviting Zheng-Fu to go to the Ten Thousand Heavenly Medicines Tower with him.
Hah!
"Then, I'd like to ask you a favor. But I have to tell you first that I don't have Deity Land's potion recipe yet. Because I just came from a small world. If possible, I hope you can guide me as we walk together." Zheng-Fu agreed without any hesitation. But he had to tell Fan-Chen about his ignorance of the medicine recipe in Deity Land first. And he thought Fan-Chen could give him some advice.
"You don't have to worry about that, Younger Brother Zheng-Fu! The Ten Thousand Heavenly Medicines Tower has a huge collection of medicine recipes. As long as you know how to concoct medicine before and follow the given recipe, you'll pass the test," Fan-Chen smiled and comforted Zheng-Fu, not to worry about this. Because at the Ten Thousand Heavenly Medicines Tower, there were medicine-making recipes for apothecaries to learn. As long as he passed the test and received the apothecary badge, that was enough.
Oh, wow!
"Then let's go, Elder Brother Fan-Chen!" Zheng-Fu listened and felt relieved. As long as the recipe was given to him and the ingredients were ready, he could concoct the potion. And what was more, he might even be able to do it better than the recipe provided.
Umm!
After Zheng-Fu met Fan-Chen and learned about the Ten Thousand Heavenly Medicines Tower, he felt very delighted and hopeful. He immediately followed Fan-Chen there. Zheng-Fu's goal was not to be an apothecary. But it was about buying herbs at a cheap price, plus learning about medicine recipes for free.
Half an hour passed, at the entrance to the Ten Thousand Heavenly Medicines Tower...
"We've arrived, Younger Brother Zheng-Fu! The building you see in front of you is the Ten Thousand Heavenly Medicines Tower, which I told you about. Even though it doesn't look good or luxurious in any way. But this is one of the most important places for our Force!" Fan-Chen brought Zheng-Fu to a stop in front of an old, worn-out building and pointed it out to Zheng-Fu.
The building that Zheng-Fu saw was indeed old and dilapidated, but he could tell that it was only its appearance. But the inside of it was different from what it looked like. He could feel the aura of a person who had the Deity Monarch Stage energy inside. Including the fragrance of many high-grade herbs that filled the air. Only he did not know what kind of herbs they were.
Hey!
"My Comrades, that's Apothecary Apprentice Fan-Chen, right?"
"Yes, it's him!"
"It's been two years and he's still an Apothecary Apprentice. What a shame that our Ten Thousand Heavenly Medicines Tower has such an apothecary. Do you guys think so?
"That's right!"
Ha ha ha!
As Fan-Chen was introducing Zheng-Fu, a sneer from a group of people came from behind them. There were five or six men and women in that group. And the first person to speak up seemed even younger than Fan-Chen.
Du-Gu-Qun!
"Elder Brother Fan-Chen, let's go inside." Zheng-Fu saw the glint in Fan-Chen's eyes and the displeased expression as he looked at that young man, and he immediately knew that Fan-Chen did not get along with those people. Ignoring them, he asked Fan-Chen to go inside.
Umm!
"Are you going now, Fan-Chen? Why are you going in such a hurry? We haven't finished greeting you yet!"
Shih!
Ha ha ha ha ha!
